Chapter 534 I Am Coming Over Standing across from them in the circle of elders, David and Selena we extremely pleased. They didnât seem to mind their tardiness at all.
Finished grinning from ear to ear, looking At that moment, Marley came over and informed everyone, âMaeve took Lulu to pick up Harvey, but theyâre stuck in traffic and canât make it back. Never mind that. You all carry on with the birthday celebration. Weâll have them pay their respects to Lionel separately later.â
The crowd didnât really have any opinions. After all, she was a stepdaughter. After her marriage, her visits became less frequent, and the guests would hardly notice her absence.
Everyone lined up and expressed their wishes in order.
When it was Isabella and Alexanderâs turn, Lionel laughed the most joyously. Isabella couldnât help but wonder if it was because they were the only pair who remained together among all his grandchildren.
Seizing the opportunity before they were surrounded by guests, Alexander quickly left with Isabella, casually grabbing some food and drinks on their way out.
As they went along, they didnât spot any familiar faces. Out of curiosity, Isabella asked, âWhere is everybody?â
*Your friends at the studio, along with Jessica and Luna, have work to do, so they didnât attend the banquet. They left this morning, with Christopher seeing them off. The others are still here. Theyâll take care of themselves. Thereâs no need to worryâ
After escorting Isabella back to her room, Alexander gently placed a kiss on her forehead. Looking at her with a tender gaze, he said, âRest well. Iâll come and keep you company in a bit.â
âAre you really not tired?â Isabella was, in fact, already feeling somewhat dizzy.
âI could go a whole day and night without sleep.â
Even though Isabella knew that Alexander had been working out and thus had more energy than most, his words still seemed somewhat ominous.
Alexander looked as radiant as ever, brimming with vitality. He had never appeared to be in such high spirits before. Yet, somehow. Isabella found herself on the verge of collapsing.
Isabellaâs face flushed red. She muttered under her breath. âYou greedy jerk!â
She quickly waved her hand, signaling for him to leave.
Alexander heard her. He pulled her into his arms, unabashedly kissing her for a moment before letting her go Isabella was truly exhausted. After all, she usually required more sleep than the average person.
The moment she saw the bed, she couldnât even be bothered to change her clothes. The food that Alexander had reminded her to eat was left untouched. She immediately collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
After Alexander left, he went to the luncheon venue to host the birthday banquet. Amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, he was full of spirit and handled everything with ease.
Chapter 5341 Am Coming Over After the proposal, David and Selena noticed a certain change in him.
#Finished Meanwhile, Alexander couldnât shake off the feeling that someoneâs gaze was constantly on him.
Naturally, many people in the room were watching him However, that gaze was filled with malice, sending an involuntary chill up from the depths of his heart.
As time gradually passed. Alexanderâs discomfort grew. All he wanted was to swiftly return to Isabellaâs side.
After extricating himself from some polite small talk with guests, Alexander immediately crossed the corridor, intending to leave.
âAlex? Youâre leaving already?â
âYeah.â
With a chuckle, Christopher looked at Alexander. Are you in such a hurry?
As he passed by the staircase, a muffled ringtone echoed from above.
The sound was that of an oldâfashioned phone, yet it left Alexander feeling completely drained of strength.
As if he had lost his soul, he took a step onto the staircase.
Isabella wasnât sure how long she had slept. She remembered having a nightmare and felt her heart racing when she woke up, but she couldnât recall anything else.
Glancing at the time, she saw that it was already four in the afternoon.
She quickly cleaned herself up and attempted to reach out to Alexander via a message. However, she failed to connect with him and had no choice but to contact the family.
David: Are you awake?
Selena: Are you hungry?
Evian: Donât worry. Everythingâs fine.
Christopher: Whereâs Alex? Didnât he go looking for you?
Rosalie: Bella, you can sleep some more.
This family is truly comforting!
Isabella: Iâve had enough sleep. Iâm coming over.
Since she had woken up, she couldnât afford to be lazy any longer. As the lady of the house, she would feel truly guilty otherwise.
